Lets talk Paleo. 

and I will get right to the point... Paleo is legit, its an awesome, healthy, lifelong way to live. It has a multitude of health benefits more than I will even start to get in to. BUT, you got to know your body.

I have done Paleo on and off for 4+ years and I have a very good undertating of how it works and what to eat. Sometimes its easy to get back to it, others times its harder.

I have felt destoryed all week. It didnt click on monday. started to thing about it after Tuesdays poor performance but after Wednesday, I knew I needed to adjust my diet.

If you hare doing strict paleo, thats great. But the harder you workout and more often, the more you HAVE to eat. I was getting good amount of protein and some fat, but slacking on carbs.

So, if you are playing with your diet and not getting the results you want, make adjustments. The key to anything is to test and re-test. see how you feel, make a change, note the outcome.

My first suggestion to anyone who asks...( and what I did)  additional fat (double avocado servings) and sweet potato and banana. The ladder are high glycemic index foods but will help you get back in to the swing!

So, while I wholeheartedly support Paleo, But you also have to look at your goals and lifestyle. If you are a CrossFitter and trying to gain, its going to be hard to hit those goals eating strict paleo.

wow, I was wrecked. Stopped after the 14th round. Just had no energy. I could feel it, I could tell I needed to eat more,

Dialing in diet is essential to hitting goals! 

And as I have started ramping up to 5, 6, or 7 days a week with strength before LONG met-cons I been feeling good. But as as soon as I cut the extra stuff that was non paleo, i just couldnt handle it anymore! 

Pay attention, make changes, get results.
